There's not gonna be any green or yellow pit stops at Bristol. Only pit stops during the stage breaks... Also heat style qualifying where you get points for passing, but don't lose points for getting passed. So in theory, there would be nothing stopping 2 teammates from just leap frogging each other for 15 laps and racking up qualifying points! https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2021/03/03/nascar-reveals-procedures-and-details-for-inaugural-bristol-dirt-track-weekend/

It was a good race unless you bought into the hype of it being something extraordinary. It's still just a race at Bristol, just on dirt... and with preplanned pitstops every 50 laps... It's like if you go to McDonald's expecting a 5 star lunch, you're going to be a lot less happy than if you go to McDonald's expecting to get some lovely rear end half beef burgers.

Of all the road courses to pick, they decide to run COTA? At least it sounds like they are going to have to deal with rain... Also must be quite the advantage for the drivers running in 2 races and get twice as much practice.

Sadly the race ended up being dry... As expected for a race at COTA, it was not that good... Really not too sure why they would pick COTA over other good circuit courses like Laguna Seca or Sebring, the later of which Nascar apparently even owns through IMSA...

A 600 mile race on the schedule is fine. But even 500 miles is too long for Charlotte.

Just run a figure 8 race for the Nascar all stars race. Also the all stars race is a joke since just about every cup driver gets in anyway. They should mix it up and let the Truck and Xfinity series drivers earn a spot too... Or they could just get rid of the all stars race since it loving sucks.

The SRX series is uploading the full race events to YouTube a couple days after airing. Pretty nice... Although it seems to just be the CBS broadcast with the side by side ads still... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNx1T4LdvK0

Yea it seems like a cool series. Hope they get more seasons of it in the future and are able to get more old retired drivers to do some races. Like maybe Jeff Gordon or Earnhardt Jr. to run a race or two... Also maybe more retired Nascar drivers can figure out a way to create a racing series for themselves to win championships in. (Apparently there is an SRX Game that is actually not bad that also has Stadium Trucks in it, although it's $40... probably not worth that...)

Plenty of action in the 2nd heat race on the SRX series. And they had James Hinchcliffe in the booth instead of Danica Patrick. far less use of "slide job" during the race... Also they spent the night setting up Paul Tracy as being an rear end in a top hat that will wreck people for the entire main event... which he does before the end... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BREnrvMWCY&t=1104s SLICK GOKU BABY fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Jun 29, 2021 |

SRX was pretty fun again this week. Although not really any action until the last 10 laps of the main event. "Too many green flag laps" cautions are funny. Also kind of nice they seem to do a segment on 1 of the drivers every week before the main event. Pretty cool to hear Willy T Ribbs tell his story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt_CPqi18KU

That'll probably be pretty cool actually! Hopefully it won't be too long before they get to start a 2nd season of SRX after that race . There's always fans at the track, but I think that's probably hard to judge as they are probably there for other races more than the SRX races.

Not as much action in the final SRX race. Chase Elliott gets the win and had some nice racing with his dad in Heat 1 and the start of the Main Event.

But I think it might be a bad reflection on the sport if Tony Stewart is inviting Nascar legends to run races... and then spinning them out to win. "gently caress you this is my house"

Cygni posted:Only way it could theoretically happen is with a temporary dirt track. USC Football plays until December, and they have a rugby team that plays there starting in March. Stadiums and arenas do some crazy poo poo to deal with multiple different events in a short period of time. They likely could get some form of pavement down in the coliseum for a race and have it back to turf a week or two before and after the race... There's a bunch of YouTube videos that will destroy your recommendation list of time lapses of stadiums setting up events... Baseball fields to Monster Truck events? Basketball to hockey to concert?

bigbillystyle posted:That was a fun series to watch. I really like the local driver aspect to it. I could do with a little bit less of the Paul Tracy professional wrestling aspect to it but it's not going to stop me from watching it. Like I get it, it's a show they're putting on so put on a show. Bang fenders, rub each other, wreck each other under yellow, whatever you want. But then don't get out of the car and do a wrestling promo. It just seemed like fake nonsense. Like are you really that mad dude? I guess PT maybe really was since he's kind of a nut but come on, just have fun with it. I mean it's Paul Tracy, he was actually pretty mad. SRX was a fantastic series and I can't wait for whatever they get going for it next year! Also Deegan put up a video with his reactions in the trailer after 1 of the races... she does a lot of Vlogs with her racing career and general life of a racer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1y-9b1y2Q

It is pretty crazy that both the Xfinity & Cup races at Talladega got robbed of an actual finish... But good for Bubba for winning a race, he definitely fought it out there knowing it was probably the last couple laps of the race...

It's kind of cool all the drivers are actually getting heated now and showing some form of personalities. Too bad it's basically the end of the season though. Been a while since drivers actually got mad at each other.
